As a family-centered Christian ministry, we provide opportunities for fun and fellowship in God's beautiful creation.
We love to see parents and their kids get outside and enjoy time together. That's why our 5k and Family Fun Run is designed for the whole family.
This is a fundraiser, and all profits from the event will support Phase 1 of the expansion that we feel the Lord is leading Great Exchange Ministries into. By God's grace, we will build an indoor multi-use space equipped with offices, classrooms, a gym, a kitchen, restrooms, and common space for fellowship. Our prayer is that this new space would glorify God by enabling year-round gatherings, thereby increasing the impact of the Gospel-centered work we are doing in Jesus name.
We appreciate your interest and support of our ministry!
Great Exchange Ministries (GEM) was founded in 2021 by Peter Starkey after his family returned from living in Bulgaria as full-time missionaries. Prior to going overseas, they spent 6 years in church youth ministry in Cincinnati, Ohio. The Gospel of Jesus Christ is Peter's greatest treasure, and it is a deep joy to share that treasure with young people and families alike.
GEM uses property which has been in the Starkey family for 3 generations. Peter and his family live here, along with his parents and his brother's family, all of whom share a heart for Christ and are sacrificial partners with the ministry.
ABOUT THE RUN - November 14, 2026:
Family max is $100. For example, if 2 Adults and 3 Kids are racing, that would be $120 a la carte, so you would choose the FAMILY PASS to save $20.
